    I know I'm an idiot...but can someone please tell me what all the initials mean? I think I have a few figured out...SO: significant other, FMIL: future mother in law. The one's I really don't know are FI (I know WHO this refers to, just not what it actually stands for) and DH (dear husband?). Any insight would be appreciated :)

    FI is "future intended" (i.e. fiance) and you are correct about DH.  :D

    Your not an idiot!  It took me forever to figure some of them out, and still don't know what others are. 

    Here is a list of them all.

    FI = Fiance'

    BM = Bridesmaid

    MOH = Maid/Matron of Honor

    GM = Groomsmen

    RB = Ring Bearer

    FG = Flower Girl

    Others, ladies???

    The one that threw me was MOB. Why would a mob cares so much about running a wedding? Then I read another post and figured out it wasn't a bunch of criminals but Mother of the bride. Boy did I feel dumb :)

    @soon2bnixon: It's a way of commenting without actually saying anything in order to bring the thread back to the top of the first page in the boards. It gives the OP (original poster) an opportunity to get more answers to their question.

    In addition to what @MrsMcGyro said, a bump can also be a way to comment on a thread you want to get back to (so it'll save in your list of topics-replied-to, accessible through your profile).
